Upcoming Events

Acute and chronic tendon ruptures are of every day for an upper extremity surgeon. The repair itself is often not so difficult, but how does my patient achieve a good to excellent result? This is the real challenge in tendon surgery. Therefore, we designed a two-day course with theoretical and practical sessions offering most types of repair in different zones, chronic reconstruction possibilities and transfers for flexor and extensor tendons. The practical sessions will be performed on fresh frozen cadavers with two participants per extremity.

Course 5 in the 7th series of Instructional Courses in Hand Surgery is focussed on Congenital Hand and Tumours. The course consists of one day of lectures (Friday) and one of small group seminars (Saturday).

This course is intended to meet the educational needs of a national audience of hand surgeons, orthopedic surgeons, plastic surgeons, hand therapists, and other allied health professionals who are interested in evidence-based hand surgery and therapy guidelines. This comprehensive symposium will address new surgical approaches and therapeutic treatment strategies available through cutting-edge clinical advances and new research findings in hand and upper extremity. Participants will have multiple opportunities for discussion and interaction with course faculty through lectures, question-and-answer sessions, case presentations on surgical and medical topics, and concurrent breakout sessions to include a hand therapist exam review plus hands-on cadaver skills labs and workshops.

The upcoming IFSSH & IFSHT Triennial Congress 2019 combines the international (IFSSH & IFSHT), the European (FESSH & EFSHT) and the German national (DGH & DAHTH) congresses for hand surgeons and therapists in one major event. From 17th to 21st June 2019 it will take place in the CityCube Berlin - Germany.

According to the congress mission “Building bridges – Together Hand in Hand” it is our aim to bring together all the various disciplines of hand surgery and therapy from all parts of the world. To stay up-to-date and to receive all important information please visit the Congress website:www.ifssh-ifsht2019.com

Please feel invited to not only actively participate in the call for abstracts until 30 September 2018 but also to meet friends, connect with new colleagues and learn about the different perspectives and approaches of hand surgery and therapy worldwide.

Tip 4: Your results can be refined by using either the tabs at the top (Video, Articles/WEB, Images, JHS, Products/Vendors), or the filters on the left (Filter by Source, Filter by Format, Filter by Purpose, etc.).

Tip 5: Punctuation can enhance your search as well. Use quotes ("search term") to only include
pages with the same words in the same order. But only use this if you are looking for an exact word or phrase, otherwise you may exclude helpful results. Add an asterisk (search term*) as a placeholder for any unknown or wildcard terms. For example, C*l Tunnel would give you results for Cubital Tunnel and Carpal Tunnel. Place a question mark (search term?) for single-character wildcard matching. For example, pa?ent would give you results for parent, patent, etc. You may also use the plus sign (search + word) between words for words you must have in the results.

Tip 6: We are always trying to improve our search, if you are having any trouble with search please refer to our survey here and we will use your comments to improve our search. You can also watch our search help video.
